One more fatal crash, and there will be one less. I've had just about enough.
What is causing the crashes? I haven't had a single issue on mine.

It's change, people don't like change. Appeasing a smaller and smaller number of users relative to the total number of computing devices isn't a long term strategy. Take the hit now while you can. I'm not saying that Windows 8 is an ideal solution but if Windows doesn't make the transition to more mobile devices it's future is just going to be very limited.
Sorry for the confusion, I have yet to install any other app like Adobe or Nitro. I am attempting to use the default WIN 8 experience. It is not present. I am sure I will soon install another app due to the experience so far.

I had to watch this video to learn how to use Win8 on desktop.

I don't get why they didn't include this.
I still love win 8 and am considering buying another copy for my backup laptop
After 3 months, I formatted the hard drive and deleted the W8 trash.
Ordered an OEM Windows 7 64 bit and I just got my tracking number.
You can find my copy in my garbage can. Come get it.

No problem here with Windows 8 except the occasional graphics not refreshing properly on my Intel HD 3000 GPU laptop. Nothing scrolling away and scrolling back or hitting F5 can't fix.
There's been three Intel HD 3000 GPU updates since I started using Windows 8 but none of them has fixed the issue yet. Ah well, it doesn't happen too often.
understatement of the year.
Win8 isn't just change like Win95 to Win7, it's something entirely different.
Because actually enforcing security in an operating system is bad. I for one say Win8 is actually a good OS. It does have its annoyances, but it also has areas where it is much better than its predecessors.
I installed Windows 8 on one of my HTPC's at home and was shocked at how poor they support remote controls -- even their own. the Metro UI looks like it was built to be an HTPC but there are many dead ends where you can get stuck with the remote with no way to get back to anything you can manipulate.
Not going to get into all of the Windows 8 h8 here, just pointing out that if you want to remotely control Windows 8 this is the kind of device to do it with: http://www.amazon.com/FAVI-Entertai...qid=1357273077&sr=8-6&keywords=favi+bluetooth
If I wanted a smartphone, I'd buy a freaking smartphone!!!
Why is all this extra gadgetry needed to make Windows 8 work properly?!
What a crappy OS.
I've never seen an OS, in my life, that required all of these extra add-ons just to use for normal functionality.
This is why everyone on here says "just buy a laptop", and I fully agree.
By the time one pays for all of this crap, they could have bought two laptops, and yet would still end up lugging around less gear than if you bought a Microsoft Surface with Windows 8!

Extra gadgetry? We're talking about Windows Media Center remotes, very few people have them. Do you have any?

Sounds like a lot of haters on the hardforum have never used it.
Figures. Same story every time, very predictable.
Never used it but either make up shit or repeat shit that others made up.
YAY!!! IM THE 2%!One more fatal crash, and there will be one less. I've had just about enough.
It would solve the problem, but the problem wouldn't exist if Microsoft properly supported their own remote control inside their new OS. Then again, the seem to be moving away from media center usage for a conventional PC. I kinda think that they're going to be pushing Xbox devices 360/720/1440/2880 and so forth for that so you have to buy more devices.
The device I pointed out is compatible with Android. It is in addition to that a full QWERTY keyboard that's smaller lighter and thinner than any Windows Media Center remote I've ever seem in addition to being backlighted. I get called time and time again a Windows fanboy but I point out something that works cross platform and get nothing but grief. And yes, I actually have one of these and it's a very nice accessory to a Windows 8 tablet. I don't have an Android device, so I will not speak to the experience there.
Fanboy for life if it's simply speaking the plain truth.

Actually, I was commenting on a post Red Falcon made which didn't have anything to do with you or was in any manner addressed at you so I don't really know why you're trying to start something with me. Can't you, for once, let other people alone to have a discussion?
YAY!!! IM THE 2%!
+1 This fatal crashes are getting out of fuckin hand.
Here's the point I think a lot of people are missing: touch for vertical displays is never going to take off. That includes touch laptops. Much as I reviled Steve Jobs and his near scientology-like corporate culture, fanbase mentality and products, his stance on vertical touch made a lot of sense (late 2010):
"We've done tons of user testing on this, and it turns out it doesn't work. Touch surfaces don't want to be vertical. It gives great demo but after a short period of time, you start to fatigue and after an extended period of time, your arm wants to fall off. it doesn't work, it's ergonomically terrible. Touch surfaces want to be horizontal, hence pads. For a notebook, that's why we're perfected our multitouch trackpads over the years, because that's the best way we've found to get multitouch into a notebook.
We've also, in essence, put a trackpad -- a multitouch track pad on the mouse with our magic mouse. And we've recently come out with a pure play trackpad as well for our desktop users. So this is how were going to use multitouch on our Mac products because this (he points at someone touch laptop screen) doesn't work."
That are due the drivers you are using, unless you are trying to use W8 in virtualization enviroment, in which case it is because of the virtualization tool you are using.
this is true.
I disagree with the opinion that microsoft is responsible for manufacturers drivers not working right.
it seems to me, every other time people blame the manufacturers for falling behind in their driver, now it's all microsofts fault for changing stuff with a new OS.
queue the "manufacturers shouldn't have to support a shitty OS" bullshit posts.
Double standard. I hope people remember this argument the next time they criticize GNU/Linux for not support their hardware.

You just need to get people to think it's a great idea, so they'll buy it. His stance on touch monitors for desktops is no different than what happens when you play a Wii. Yet those sold like hotcakes.
Just press Win+W, and then "de", and it's thereWell, Metro is... nearly everything is the same for the desktop.
Just stupid, clunky quirks make it more annoying than useful. Like Devices / Printers is a subcategory of Control Panel. You can't search straight to it in Metro, but it'll probably be up by the time you get "pr" typed in on W7.
